What window mastic looks like in Coldred
Historic houses like Goodnestone Park (about 4.6 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Coldred has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Schools such as Lydden Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. In the older streets around Church of St Pancras, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.
Coldred is about 4 miles north-west of Dover, in Kent. From the centre of Coldred to the outskirts, we cover window mastic for every kind of property. Our area takes in 922 places across Kent, large and small. For nearby work, see our Chelmsford page.

Around Coldred
Around Coldred, our work takes us to homes and buildings near The Bell Inn and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Shepherds Well station, roughly 1.1 miles north-west.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Leave it or put it right?
Choosing the product is half the job. Interior caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t made for exterior frame joints. A low-modulus exterior sealant keeps its stretch through hot and cold weather. In a small place like Coldred, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating. The job normally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. For a village or hamlet like Coldred, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
When to call us in Coldred
Joint shape matters as much as the product. A thin smear across a wide gap has nothing to it, and a gap filled solid cannot flex. That’s what backing rod is for.
The most common problems we see are:
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
Rented homes near Shepherds Well station change hands often, and cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

How the job changes by surface
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the threshold joint takes a lot of water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
Patio & French doors
Door frames take knocks and movement every time the doors are used. A flexible sealant copes with that.
